Mischief Monday - New Things - Hard Days - by Styx

 hi friends, hi friends, hi friends,

We had a very exciting and scary week last week. Very exciting, very expensive, scary for cats day. 

Lady and Man let 2 strangers come into the house and do work. While the strangers were in the house, we had to all be in Lanie's room so we were out of the way. 

Me looking at what the strangers did., with Lady's finger in my picture. 

We did not like being locked in the room together. We did not fight or anything, but we were very mad at the Man (who was home when the banging was happen) did this. When we had to be locked in for a bit the second day, Lanie was smart, she hid. Man found her in Lady's office so just closed her in there. 

All the banging and 2 guys in and out was because Lady and Man had a heat pump installed. I didn't know what a heat pump was, so I asked Lady and she said it was a HVAC system that is energy efficient and heats and cools the house. Lady said they got it for the cooling feature. See, we have electric baseboard heat, like most people in Quebec. We don't have a furnace and we don't have ducts, so to get the house a/c this was the best way.  We will all have a/c this summer. This is very, very exciting. Lady has never lived with all house a/c. Man is less excited because this was expensive. However, they will be getting rebates and should save money on electricity. 

One of the heat pumps. One is in the bedroom and one is in the living area. 

While it is still too cold to try the a/c (it was -20C/-4F on Friday), we have noticed it makes the house much warmer. Gris and I think we may really, really love heat pump, even if we were trapped for a day. 

Lounging and enjoying the warm air

That was the very big, exciting mischief in our house.
